Best place for wiring Rearview camera?
Where is the best place to connect rearview camera? Don't want to cut wires. The Rear reverse lamps don't have fuse on their circuit, so if camera will short circuit, the electrical managing unit will be hurted.

What wiring are you looking for?
Power wire? Reverse wire? The reverse is in the trunk in the harness on the left you want to look for a orange wire that has 12 volts when your car is in reverse. A 12 volt wire use either the 12 volt accessory outlet wire or one behind the head unit. |
Matt, you're saying you could use the accessory wire from the headunit to power the camera itself?
|
bigaudio, where is that plug located at? thanks

One for the reverse light, thanks
|
actually, what is best? Reverse or power? Any pics please? Will use it just for parking I guess, but firstly have to solve missing reverse pulse in wiring loom, or will have to switch to it manually.

The reverse wire tells your head unit to show the reverse camera image on screen. That orange wire is located in the trunk on the left hand side on the back wall in the trunk.
The camera also needs a power wire that you can connect to either the red wire of your new hed units wiring harness or the yellow wire of the 12 volt plug on the passenger side |
So in essence, the camera is gonna have 3 main wires, power/ground/reverse lead.. good stuff. Man, I just learned something. Thanks Matt

That sounds like a good idea, actually.

Alternatively you can use my plug and play harness which allows you to use the factory system and the camera will appear when selecting reverse and you will have the factory parking guidelines that move with the steering wheel. |

Im looking at getting this reverse cam: Crimestopper SV-6704.IR (SV6704IR) CCD Camera with Night Vision anyone had any experience with it?
My HU actually has a Reverse cam wire coming from it, so I just need to run that to the back of the car? I'm guessing that's a remote turn on, but not sure how it will know the car's in reverse... guess I need to pull the box out and check the manual. |

It could be the input/trigger signal wire to tell your HU that the car is in reverse and in that case you would connect to the reversing lights or the appropriate wire on the AV harness. What year 370z do you have? I can post some pictures to show you where to connect. Or it could be the video in where you actually plug the camera in and in that case it will typically be an RCA connector. |

I have a 2010. |
just wanted to make a note about the "orange" wire BIG speaks of. When wiring my HU and Backup camera. I ran a wire with the video wire for the camera up to the headunit, connected both the wire and backup camera power wire to the "orange" wire on the harness in the trunk on the left.
Im not sure what the harness does, but there are 3 orange wires. I used the first one(one on the end of the harness). everything works great! |

The orange wire is to tell the head unit to show the rear camera input. yes there are 3 orange wires in the harness however only one will only show power when you put the car in reverse. |
Slightly OT, but can someone tell me where the stock back up camera lens that comes with the Nav is located? I can't find it in any pics (and don't get my car for a week). I know some of them are close to the license plate frame and I just want to make sure the frame I'm looking at won't interfere.

I'm gonna order it today, it comes with it's own drill bit for the bumper, just have to figure out where. I'm thinking that little square piece above the rear fog light. Big - That piece, have you mounted a cam there before? Do you know how to remove it to do so if you have a DIY or a few pics would be graciously welcomed. :tiphat: |
